Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 724

From the day Jimmy came back, Ariah had been wearing loose clothes that didn't show her figure nor belly at all.

Hence, he couldn't have known that her belly was slightly bulging under those loose clothes.

Right now, Jimmy had his gaze fixed at the bulging belly.

Without saying anything, he simply looked at her belly as if he could see through it.

His intense gaze brought goosebumps to her arms. She subconsciously stretched out her hand to cover her belly.

However, Jimmy pushed her hand away and said hoarsely, "Are you sure it's not because you had a little too much for dinner?"

What!

Ariah was so mad that she kicked him off the bed.

Everything started to make sense now. Standing up from the floor and clenching his fists tightly, Jimmy stared at her fair face and asked coldly, "Why didn't you tell me?"

He couldn't help but grit his teeth in frustration as he thought about how they fought while she was pregnant.

Suddenly, he broke out in a cold sweat when something crossed his mind. He almost forced himself on her the other day. If it weren't for her tears, he wouldn't stop.

What was he going to do if he did use force the other day and hurt the baby?

Jimmy trembled in fright.

This d*mned woman had nearly caused him to commit a grave mistake!

If something happened to her and the baby, he would never forgive himself.

At the thought of this, he stared at Ariah with hatred and resentment. He hoped he could give her some beating to punish her. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

But she was so precious right now that he didn't dare to touch her.

Now, Ariah's torn clothes were lying on the floor pathetically. Using the blanket, she covered herself, and when she looked up, she met with his irritating glare.

Vigilantly, she looked at him as she was afraid that he might go berserk again. "Don't you do anything. My mom is downstairs..."

"Shut up!" Annoyed by her voice right now, he was burning in rage as soon as she spoke.

Pursing her lips, Ariah sat on the bed and watched him pacing the room restlessly. She knew that he was on the brink of utter rage, so she kept quiet wisely.

With one hand on his waist, Jimmy pulled his collar and asked, "How many months?"

Ariah remained silent.

"Answer me!"

He barged at her and seemed to want to pull her up from the bed, but he dared not touch her since she was pregnant, so he could only stare at her.

Ariah rolled her eyes at him. "Three."

"Three..." Jimmy pointed at her belly. "Did you go to the hospital for a checkup?"

"Of course!"

"Is it a boy or a girl?"

"We'ill find out when the baby is born."

"l-ls the baby healthy?"

Ariah gently caressed her belly and said in a low voice, "Yes."

Jimmy started to get sweaty palms. When Dakota said that Ariah was pregnant, he subconsciously ran up to her and wanted to confirm it. Although he pulled her clothes and saw her pregnant belly, he had not touched it yet.

After he calmed down and looked at his beloved wife sitting on the bed caressing her belly, he stretched out his hand nervously, wanting to touch it.

But before he could reach her, a loud slapping sound echoed the room.

Ariah slapped his hand away.

"Hey! This is my child too!" He had the right to look and touch it.

However, Ariah only looked at him coldly and wrapped herself tightly in the blanket. "Get out!"

Jimmy's face darkened, whereas Ariah continued, "I need to change my clothes. Get out."

The b*stard tore her clothes, so now she was half-naked.

Jimmy looked at her again before retreating silently. He went out and stood by the door when he saw Dakota standing not far from him, heaving a sigh of relief.

He pursed his lips.

She was worried that he would do something stupid, so she came to have a look, wasn't she?

Facing Jimmy, Dakota cleared her throat awkwardly. "I hope you guys can sit down and talk calmly. Just divorce if you can't reach an agreement. Don't make things..."

"I didn't cheat on her," Jimmy interjected.

"What!" Dakota gushed, "Then why did Ariah move back?"

"Well, I did do something that annoyed Ariah, but I definitely did not cheat on her. Mom, she's just angry at me."

Jimmy didn't intend to make any explanation, but when he saw Dakota's disappointed look, he compromised.

Dakota gasped in disbelief. She knew Ariah very well. If things hadn't gone out of control, she wouldn't have ditched everything and come home.

Jimmy raised his eyebrows and relented, "I swear on my mother's grave that I will never do anything that will hurt Ariah."

"Tsk, your mother is still alive and kicking, don't say that," Dakota gushed. "God, please forgive him."

However, since he dared to swear to her, it showed that he was absolutely telling the truth, so she believed him. "So please talk nicely to Ariah and calmly resolve your problems, alright?"

"Alright."

"Stay the night if you want to."

Jimmy nodded.

After Dakota left, Jimmy stood at the door for a while. Just as he thought that Ariah had changed her clothes and was about to enter, there was a female voice coming from behind, "Jimmy?"

Jimmy turned around and saw Lindsey.

"Jimmy, when did you come?" Lindsey approached him with a smile.

Without answering her directly, Jimmy raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"

"Why didn't you tell me that you came? I should have gone to greet you, but I was watching TV alone upstairs. Dad will say that I'm rude to our guest," she leaned at him as she said.

Jimmy glanced at her and rebuked, "I came to see Ariah, so I have nothing to do with you."

"We are a family. Don't treat me so coldly," Lindsey chortled with a smile.

Even though the two girls shared the same last name, he loved one of them to the moon and back but was repulsed by the other one.

Shaking his head with a disgruntled expression, Jimmy snarled, "Haven't you learned your lesson? I told you not to flirt with me. It's disgusting."

His indifferent remark annoyed Lindsey that she dropped her smiley disguise and blurted, "Jimmy, can't you see that I like you?"

Jimmy frowned. "You like me? Why do you have to like me? What did I do wrong?" "You..."

Did he regard her adoration as a bad omen?

Lindsey's expression changed again as if she had multiple masks to pair with her emotions. "You cheated on Ariah with someone else anyway. That person can be another girl, and it can be me. Why can't you accept my love?"

"To me, you are extremely ugly, arrogant, barbaric, and even slutty." Jimmy squinted at her. "I'll be d*mned if I ever stumble upon such a woman, so surely I'll stay away from you as far as I can. As for you said I cheated on Ariah..."

At this point, Jimmy narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Come clean to me, or I'll skin you alive."
